Point of Law wins 2026 Melbourne Cup in historic stable trifecta
Point of Law, ridden by Ethan Brown and trained by Ciaron Maher, won the A$10.2M Group 1 Melbourne Cup at Flemington, with stablemates Zahrann and Juja Kibo finishing second and third—a record first trifecta for any trainer.
TLDR
Maher had seven runners in the Melbourne Cup, including the top three finishers. Animal-welfare campaigners urged people to skip bets and office sweeps, arguing that horses are killed for entertainment.
